The Guardian launched its Datablog earlier this year. They even started a Flickr group where users can upload images of their own data analyses. Datablog includes posts that look at the data behind the figures used in the paper, and they take it a step further: they dump the data into Google spreadsheets for readers to view or download. For example, the top post today provides a spreadsheet of United Nations data on the burden of AIDS.

Rogers talked bout how the embargo requirements have tied their hands a bit on what they can report, so for one of their graphics, they focused on what they were allowed to publish: Where did all the embassy cables come from?

I’m sure the journalists at the Guardian and elsewhere will be mining the Wikileaks data and finding stories for years.
